Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has explained that his latest injury is his most ‘heartbreaking’, but admitted he will just have to deal with it and continue to fight back to full fitness.
The Gunners midfielder has had a torrid time with injuries since joining the club, missing the majority of his potential playing time and picked up yet another injury in the FA Cup, when he made his comeback against Burnley for 20 minutes.
Rosicky, who now faces a prolonged period on the sidelines, admitted, as reported by the club’s official website, that his reception from the Arsenal fans was eyewatering and left him stunned.
It was unbelievable, something I didn’t expect.
Since the moment I started to warm up on the sidelines it was exceptional. Honestly, I had tears in my eyes after such a long time being out.
I started to warm up and the reception was unbelievable and I will never forget it. Obviously it is the worse thing [getting injured again] and the feeling I cannot give the fans anything back at the moment is frustrating.
I was out for a long time so obviously the relationship with the fans after 10 years was always great and they always knew I played my heart out and they always appreciated me and I appreciated them.
As I said it is heartbreaking I can’t give them anything back after the reception they prepared for me, but in life things will be thrown at you and you have to deal with it. You are defined by how you deal with these things and I will deal with it again and I will be back again.
It’s been a hard few days for me to accept. Sometimes you always say that you can always do better or that you can always improve more and more, but I don’t know what more I could have done.
I’ve always come back from everything and I will come back again, I will not give up. I will make it happen once more, I will have the strength to make it, I will find it and I will be back again.

Arsene Wenger, on Friday morning, confirmed that the Czech international would miss around two-three months of action, meaning the 35-year-old will potentially never play for the club again, with his contract coming to an end in June.
The Gunners will have to contend against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon without Rosicky as an option, as they look to regain ground in the Premier League title race.
